mr. garamendi: is this mr. romney? mr. blumenauer: mr. romy wants to eliminate funding for amtrak. this is one of his targets. you know, the united states, in the past, i have been brought up short when i talk about the united states having a third world rail passenger system, because, you know, i've ridden railroads in places like malaysia or thailand. and we do an injustice to their rail systems. the united states is the only major country in the world that does not have higher-speed rail passenger service. it is the only major country that has no plan to move forward. the president, to his credit, put forth $14 billion to be able to strengthen our rail passenger system, some of which, several billion would have helped with a california vision. the california voters have approved the opportunity to go forward. you know, it is frustrating for me, because there i know doubt that -- there is no doubt that americans will have higher-speed rail. but the question is coming back to the point that you have so alentlessly and eloquently developed on the floor here, congressman garamendi,
